MODERN SAM/BMD SYSTEMS
Derk replied to Abhi's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
The Russki's must have conquered Friesland....... That's where the cow comes from. Never saw or noticed it in the game though, or does it come with the SA-10 ?? Hou doe, Derk -

Modern UK terrain?
Derk replied to mppd's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
And as a very modest suggestion LEEUWARDEN and SOESTERBERG AB in Holland, . home of 322 / 323 Sq and 32 Sq USAFE respectively and prime interceptor bases with alert facilities and a long history ..... Aerial pictures are still avalable though not on Google Earth. (there's a big row in Holland about it ) And if you can use Gepards and HGBN's airfields you're a real hero !! The standard WOE airfield does not look very European....... Gepards NATO and WARPAC airfields, which were lost in the latest patches, were revived recently and are available again (albeit minus the static planes), but he did not include them in the File Anouncements....

Modders: What Do You Concentrate On?
Derk replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Dave, Can you define for once and for all what and who you consider to be a modder ? Guess it has to do with publishing mods but I would like to know for sure Thx, Derk -
Serving with the military for a couple of years is considered an asset in this country. On gets used to a kind of disipline and it also helps to build up a network of people one knows and who can be helpfull in the future. Normally there are also possibilities for further specialisation, training and education and - assuming you didn't finish university at an age of 50+, it looks like a very good opportunity to acquire your first job experience, which is worth its weight in gold (as we say it) andmakes it a lot easier to get into another job after some years . And that is a very big advantage !!! Good luck, Derk

Thanks Ordway, for both Flogger pits and the great explanation. Looks like another couple of designers must be decorated by the West for producing such a "difficult"plane (except for the MLD probably) which, in combination with the standards of training of the average Warpac pilot , resulted in a not so dangerous adversary for our Cold War pilots..... : Hou doe, Derk

C-5A GALAXY
Derk replied to Veltro2k's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Do you ever sleep ????? Thx a lot, Derk -
Hallo Gepard, Thanks a lot for the update !! Missed your set of airfilelds sorely after the latest patch. Very glad to have them back as the Thirdwire standard airfiled is definitely uneuropean........ Just one thing: I think that this rework needs a proper post in the File Anouncements as I found it more or less by accident and I guess there's lots of people still playing SF1/WOX in these days where all and everything new is for the second generation Vista powered SF2 etc. .............................. Thanks again, Derk

Mig-17 maneuverability and FM
Derk replied to guyran's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Same here Fubar....... Had a look at some airshow movies of the Fresco at Youtube and it seemed that at least there is SOME manoeuvrability left at higher speeds. Hou doe, Derk -
Mig-17 maneuverability and FM
Derk replied to guyran's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Thanks for the tip Fubar. Guess that maybe the designers of the Fresco should be decorated by the West ? Hou doe, Derk -
Mig-17 maneuverability and FM
Derk replied to guyran's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
OK. flogged then, but severely. Wonder though what the progress was compared with the MiG 15 (more stable gun platform maybe) and weren't there more simple solutions for something that only performed well at something like 300 - 350 kts ? A prop fighter could almost do that...... Maybe I'm gonna look a bit more into some different flight models from the archive, because I can hardly imagine that in real life the Fresco completly refused to pitch up and roll at speeds over 450 kts...... Hou doe, Derk -
Well, it IS an option to buy yourself a new car when you have saved enough to get married......... (and it is far cheaper in the end) :yes: Hou doe, Derk (happily married....)
